  An absolutely perfect place to stay.

  The lodge is very well kept , beautifully clean and comfortable. Mark greeted us on arrival and showed us around, he has a lot of useful tips and is extremely helpful, without being intrusive at all. There is absolutely nothing you could need for your stay that isn't already there. The kitchen has an abundance of crockery ,cutlery ,pots and pans, and the welcome gifts and milk were a lovely extra touch. The seating area is so comfortable to relax in, with the bonus of sky cinema, which, due to the weather, we made good use of. The enormous bed was very inviting , and the bathroom ,very thoughtfully, had everything you could need just in case you had forgotten something, a brilliant idea. The hot tub was perfect for sinking into after a good days walking to soak the aching bones and the lights outside made it so attractive at night. Both front and back outside spaces were lovely and pretty and peaceful, the nearby construction works did not disturb us at all The local pub , seven stars, was 10 minutes walk away and was the perfect pub, offering a friendly warm welcome and amazing food......the hotpot is a must to try, and a good variety of beers and drinks, Being on the bus route made the lodge a perfect location to visit places without always needing the car , the bus stop is almost directly outside the property . Overall this place is quite simply perfect and we would recommend it to anyone, you will not be disappointed in the slightest, we have very High expectations from Sykes and this exceeded them all, we hope to return in the future.

  We enjoyed our stay at Lytham Gatehouses as we know Lytham Hall grounds and gardens very well and have visited on a number of occasions.

  The Gate houses are quirky as expected and are situated either side of the drive up to Lytham Hall. There are signs asking vehicles to be aware of pedestrians crossing and we didn’t have any problems with this at all. The gatehouses were clean , tidy and well presented, although just a tiny bit smaller than we had expected. This was not a problem however. We enjoyed our complimentary tickets giving entry to the Hall itself as we hadn’t been inside previously and it was a real treat. We cannot praise the volunteers highly enough; they were very knowledgeable , helpful, and friendly and it was a highlight of our stay. We also enjoyed the surrounding areas of Lytham and St Anne’s which are always a joy to visit. We would love to give a five star rating to our review but there was one major drawback to our stay and that was the bed. The mattress was far too soft and lumpy and I’m sorry to report that we both had sleepless nights for the extent of our three day stay. We know that comfort is a very individual thing but I do feel that the mattress does require replacing with one of a more superior quality. It is such a shame because everything else was so nice, but this is the one thing that would prevent us returning for another stay. I’m hoping that this positive feed back will lead to the mattress being replaced and then we can consider returning. Thank you for all the other things you provided that were of a good standard.

  Excellent accommodation and excellent customer care.

  The staff were excellent. Ideal location close to Lytham with access to lots of facilities. Furnishings in property were well accommodated in the separate gatehouses. The welcome pack was excellent. Lytham Hall was a great place to have time to spend and relax particularly the access to the beautiful gardens. The garden centre was interesting and the cafe was excellent particularly for the food. Very dog friendly both the accommodation and Lytham itself. One of my best holidays at a self catering property and already booked again. There was no issues with having separate gatehouses in fact it made it more special as it made you realise that you do not need large properties when it is just for you. The drive was busy but not an issue as the new signs to slow seem to have worked and the gates open and shut at approximately 5pm and 8.30 so have own access to the acres of woodland and parkland. The car parking is great and you can go out out after gates shut at night and leave car in designated parking just outside on drive near gatehouse. The key collection arrangements were good and communication from property owner and holiday company was excellent throughout

  We had a lovely short break.

  It was clean, warm and different. The supply of tea, coffee, milk & biscuits was very welcome. It was really good that there was a TV in the bedroom and that we could make hot drinks in there too. The kitchen hot tap had to be run very slowly though, to get just warm water. It didn't get hot; so it would be better to have a small washing up bowl in the sink, as the metal sink cooled the lukewarm water very quickly. The back door wouldn't unlock either. We soon got used to going from one gatehouse to the other but we had to be careful crossing the drive. There is a lot of traffic going in & out of the grounds during the day and most of it goes too fast through the gates. We were surprised there were no 'Slow' signs outside or some means of warning drivers to take care, as people might be crossing the drive. Lytham Hall is beautiful and its history very interesting. It was great having complimentary tickets to look round it.

  The cottage was in a lovely spot, very peaceful.

  It was very clean & had just about everything you would need & being able to take the dog was a bonus, lovely little enclosed garden. However 3 things we felt let it down, there is no heat in the bathroom or bedrooms( there are plug in heaters in bedrooms so not such a problem),but it would have been nice to have somewhere to dry towels. On our first night we were cold, as the storage heater on landing didn't seem to come on till early morning. In the lounge there is a plug in heater, but without lighting the fire that is totally inadequate in the winter. The storage heater in dining room hardly felt warm. There is also just a plug in heater in kitchen. Thirdly it would have been nice to have proper sized bath towels. We did enjoy our stay & the cottage is obviously loved & well cared for, but I think you would struggle to be warm enough had the weather been snowing & frosty.
